Author Topic: Did you dress up in a halloween costume for work today? Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 10-31-2006 01:59 PM                    I work in a small corporate office of maybe 40 or 50 people, and only two of us dressed up today. I dug out my jedi costume that I made for the episode III premier, and the other person wore a pooddle skirt, bobby socks, and the whole 50s get up. As she said, everyone else is "no fun." So how about you... did you dress up for work today? Or did you just dress up to go around town in a costume? Will you hand out candy in a costume? What are you dressed as? Or are you no fun?  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues.

I can't justify a costume as I can't come up with something more creepy or frightening than my natural appearance.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-31-2006 05:57 PM                        I think I'm lots of fun, but I cannot stand putting on dopey costumes. I can embarass myself just fine without putting on a goofy outfit, thanks. With Halloween on a Tuesday, we didn't really decorate the theatre this year either....the weather here turned crappy yesterday and business is really slow so there's not much point.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 10-31-2006 10:18 PM                     I encountered a witch at Walgreens today. That was when it occurred to me that today is Halloween. One customer came dressed up as a angel. We think it was an angel. She had wings. Only one of our employees was wearing a costume, again with wings. She was reporting to work as I was leaving. She frowned at me as I was leaving I remarked "Awwww! I forgot the razor blades!" (for the trick & treaters.) Dark humor is how I celebrate Halloween. Speaking of which, none of the tv weather people draped themselves with the green "chroma key" fabric and acted as the disembodied weather "head" this year. Disappointing halloween overall.  |  IP: Logged Emma Tomiak Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Carrollton, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 10-31-2006 11:01 PM                        I didn't wear a costume, but I answered the door for trick-or-treaters with my rat on my shoulder. Scared the parents, not the kids, heh heh. And some guy passed by me at school dressed up as a bottle of mustard.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 11-01-2006 01:42 AM                     Hells yeah! Ok, so it wasn't at work but of course I dressed up! I went downtown Salem, MA as usual (it's not my 'official' city but I basically live there). There really is no better place to be on Halloween. You know, the Salem Witch Trials? Thousands upon thousands of people all in one downtown area of Salem on Halloween night? Fun times... It's a bad picture but its what I have at the moment. My best friend Angel, me, and my boyfriend Matt.  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 11-01-2006 03:07 AM                        My dentist dressed up as Fred Flinstone. Yes I had dental work done on Halloween of all days. Oh the Irony. What was worse was that it felt like he was using rocks instead of drills to get at my jaw. After emergency surgery was required due to a hemmorage in my jaw, I am sure that he was using a rock. Thankfully he is a very skilled oral surgeon. I think I really should have ran away when I saw his costume. But then again, it was lucky I was there when it happened. If I wasn't, it would have hemmoraged somewhere else. Thank god for Fred Flinstone.

Was Barney Rubble assisting?  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-01-2006 06:27 AM                     I know what you mean Emma. One year for Halloween, I answered the door with my rat on my shoulder, hoping to scare the kids, with little luck. A group of girls thought she was so cute, and wanted to take her with them! Seems girls are more fond of than scared of rats. BTW, my rat's name was Emma! Emma Peel from "The Avengers."  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-04-2006 09:08 AM                     This is me in my default Halloween costume. When I can't come up with anything new, I always go back to Cher, although I do have several different versions. I figured with all the gay people here, someone might get a kick out of it.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 11-04-2006 11:03 AM                     Oh my! That's good!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-05-2006 06:10 PM                  HOLY SMOKES, Hillary! That is really cool! BUT, I think you look more like Dr. Frank N. Furter from RHPS with long hair than Cher! (I couldn't resist... I posted the comparison in the "Separated at Birth: Jean-Michel Grin & Patrick McDonough? (Page 15)" thread.)  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-05-2006 07:00 PM                     Thanks Rachel! And as for you Phil. Ouch, that hurts! I'm probably one of the few people on these forums that can't stand RHPS. Surprsingly, when I'm "80's Cher," instead of Frank-N-Furter, people actually think I'm Elvira When I dressed up as "90's Blonde Cher" then everyone knew who I was, in spite of the fact that she usually has dark hair.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-05-2006 07:05 PM                  Ummm Hillary, I meant it as a compliment! Sorry you didn't think so.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-05-2006 07:23 PM                     Just kidding, Phil. I guess I should use more emoticons, too. Sorry you took it wrong. If I could turn back time...  |  IP: Logged
